I don't know about you but in college, I have many long-distance friendships because unfortunately all of my home friends went to different Universities. Although we can all sob and be sad about it, there are a few perks when it comes to long-distance best friends.

1. You have someone to visit

I have the best time whenever I visit my friends at their new "home away from home." It is so much fun creating new memories not only at home but at their universities as well. It is almost like if it were one of those merged episodes o0f two different shows, you have your high school friends and then your college friends meet and hang out for the first time. My favorite place to visit is Florida State (sorry UCF people), but I love being able to see their new environment and meet the people they spend every day with.

2. You have someone to call and facetime

I love being able to come back to my apartment after a long day at school and call my bestie to let her know the 411. With calling and informing them it is so much better to ask your long-distance friends for advice because they are not biased and will give you the real tea. I love being able to come together on the phone and talk about everything that is going on in our lives, it's almost as if I am there with them.

3. Getting to see them during breaks

This is what I look forward to 24/7, BREAKS! Breaks are the best just because you get to fully reunite with your besties you do not get to see on the daily. During breaks, it almost feels as if it were just like "old times" again. I love being able to do fun activities with my besties and catch up on life.

4. You know they are one of the good ones

By this time if you guys are still friends you most definitely know they will be in your life forever. This person you have by your side after you guys literally live thousands of miles away from each other are your friends for life. They know everything from when you guys were little to know, so hold on to them tight and make sure to tell them that you love and appreciate them.

P.S. you guys know who you are and I love you all so very much.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
